Knee Cracking and Popping (Knee Crepitus). Should You Be Worried?
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 05. 2022
- Today’s video covers knee pain, cracking and popping, which is referred to as knee crepitus and the exercises you would implement to help resolve this issue. Cracking and popping sounds that come from the knee are typically associated with the patellofemoral joint, which is located just behind the kneecap.
Patellofemoral joint pain syndrome (PFPS) describes a very common condition in which a person experiences pain just behind the kneecap. Pain associated with this condition is usually reproduced with activities that put more stress on the joint, such as running, climbing stairs, squatting or prolonged sitting.
Successful treatment of this condition revolves around temporary behavior modification, such as reducing running mileage and avoiding periods of prolonged sitting. Incorporating exercises that strengthen the hip (glutes) and knee (quads) muscles is also important.
It is extremely important that people understand that noises from the knee are usually not associated with pathology and may actually be a sign of a healthy, well-lubricated joint. let’s be careful not to make people feel bad about their knee noise as it can negatively influence how they view their body!
So, if your knees are noisy and you don’t have pain, don’t worry about them. The noise is most likely due to the movement of fluid behind the kneecap and is not an indicator of a developing joint problem.

My knees have always cracked since I was a young teenager.I am now 45 years old and my knees are absolutely fine 🙂👍
I’m in the exact same boat. My knees have cracked since I was 11 or 12 and I am no 40 and have no issues.
I’m also the same ! As long as I remember myself I could hear my knees
My story is the same!
Same 52 now and had it as a teenager, no knee issues, still running or cycling 4 times a week.
Thanks for saving me time going through the whole video!
This guy is legit, I’ve been following his exercises and in 3 days my pain has subsided and will continue doing and following him
Thank you! So glad to hear my videos have been helpful!
I use to used to have same symptoms until I focused on strength training and over time I realized it went away . It was my ankles and knees . Focused on Glutes , Core and quads . Good video
Strengthening those area (glutes, quads and calf) are usually quite helpful when dealing with patellofemoral pain and crepitus.
I noticed that I started having these problems when I stopped playing sports + stretching.
I took a knock to my knee cap and an area around it during a soccer game , my neighbor is a PT and he did a few tests.. He told me my glutes and quads are too weak and it's putting pressure on my knee. I guess it's time to build up the glutes and quads.

I have pops in elbow in both arms so will it fix overtime
Thank you for answering the question quickly and then explaining further. I hate videos with 15-minute intros of filler that just circle the issue and don't actually say anything of value. This is the complete opposite and perfect for what I was looking for.
Thanks for the feedback! I’m so glad the video was helpful!
I keep hyper extending my legs via really hard tensing of my quads and realized I was getting pain. You mentioning the glutes made all the sense in the world bc that's where my imbalance is too. Thank you!
So glad the video was helpful!
Thank you ! This is helpful information,my son of 11 years old have this knee pain and how many times I have took him to clinic they said no bone crack or whatever the doctors said it is a “growing pain “because sometimes the pain is moving up to his right arm ! I don’t know what to do than to always pray for him ..and I came across this and glad that a lot of people have the same situation and nothing serious to worry about..he can still run walk but sometimes when too much tired it will pains him and the crackling sound !
You are such a valuable asset to the CZcams channel. Please keep sending us many more sensational videos like this one🙏
So glad my content is helpful!
Thank you for your video. I have had the cracking noises ever since I was 18 yrs old. I was 90 lbs then. Now, I am 70 and I hear the same sounds as I have always heard, but I do not experience any pain, soreness, or swelling in my knees. I very much appreciate your demonstration of stretching and strengthening exercises!
Bro’s 70 and typed all that
I 've searched for the video which will counter this problem for years and now it suddenly popped up , so thankful for this .
I’m glad the video was helpful!
"popped" up, good one🤣
Thank you for this video. I've been hearing popping with no pain and I've avoided leg exercises because of that. I was afraid that I would be making it worse.
Same
Same
Same, especially I stopped doing squats and deadlifts.
I'm 47 and I started working out when i was 43 due to health issues, and I became addicted to it, now I'm in the best shape of my life but I have developed some issues. I have a hip issue that comes and goes...along with a shoulder issue that's starting to heal. I do have popping in my left knee but it's no pain and I never had knee issues in my life. I chalked it up to being older. I realized I have to stretch and do warmup exercises, before I just went straight into my workout. I skip certain stretches cause it irritated my bicep tendons which caused my shoulder pain. I'm learning...I'm sort of new to the fitness industry.
My knees grind any time I bend it, I was very active and in multiple sports including distance running and had to stop due to the knee pain, I’ve gone to doctor and physical therapists and they have yet to figure out what’s wrong, physical therapy actually worsened my knees and the popping became louder after. I’m only 18 and have been having knee problems since I was about 10, I never knew that this was an actual thing that other people went through, I’m glad to have stumbled across this video :) hope in my knees have been restored
I’m glad the video was helpful. Many people, including myself, experience kneecap joint cracking, popping and grinding. However, if you have pain, it is a good idea to find exercises that can help. Usually, hip strengthening exercises (single-leg bridges, fire hydrants, Sidelying abduction) help. I would recommend trying the exercises in my kneecap pain video and my gluteus medius strengthening video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about this issue. I had really tough time searching about this theme and it was harder to understand why this is happening. 🙏🏼❤️
I’m so glad to hear this video was helpful to you!
Hello again. Thank you for your excellent videos. They are really helpful. Quick question: I have heard it said, in other courses, that a flat back, jack-knife-like, single leg squat is strengthening for the proximal hamstrings rather than the gluts. In these courses they advocate a squat with the neck and back flexed forwards to activate and strengthen the gluts. I'd be very interested to hear what you think about that. THANK YOU Julieann : ))
Whew, thanks. One thing in my life I can stop wondering and worrying about. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌
So glad the video was reassuring to you!
Thank you so much for your clear explanation.
You’re welcome!
Wow, can’t believe I found this video! Thank you so much for your expertise. I’ve been suffering with a crackling, popping knee for years. I even went to a very prominent orthopedic surgeon who did an x-ray on my knee and told me that it was all fine. Did not mention any information about how to strengthen my glutes and stretch quad, etc. This is brilliant! Going to keep working on stretching my quadriceps. I do a ton of Glute work but, tying this all together I hope will help.
I’m so glad the video was helpful! Thanks for the comment!
This happens to me. Cracking in my knee when I bend it. It doesn’t hurt but it was worrying me if it was something serious long term. Great video.
Glad the video was helpful!
Same as mine
Same!
Same
Yeah same exactly.
Very helpful video thanks! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
WOW!! Thank you very much because I just had an injury and my knees are bothering me a lot. Blessings to you and your family program. 🇨🇴🇺🇸🙌💐💝
No problem! Best wishes with your recovery!
extremly helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, this was very helpful information!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video 👍
I’m going to incorporate these exercises with my usual workouts. I’m very active all my life but I’ve had knee cracking/popping since I was 17. At that time I was diagnosed with a muscle imbalance but I’ve continued to have the sounds and intermittent pain for years since then
I hope you find the exercises to be helpful!
Thanks Doc, great vid. Subbed
Thank you! I’m glad the video was useful!
Excellent information. I have popping and cracking from my knee but I'm not experiencing any pain. I'm 46 so I feel like that comes with age. I still workout 3x week and remain active.
Thank you. I’m glad the video was useful and to hear you are staying consistent with your workouts.
thanks your chanel exersizes..
Thank you!
Thank you. I needed this. My knees been cracking since I was a teenager
Glad the video was helpful! Please remember that knee cracking in the absence of pain usually isn’t associated with pathology or future problems.
Great video thank you
You’re welcome
I started gym last year. One day during my 2nd leg exercise for the day (front squats) half way through my Reps my knees started to pop/crack everytime I went down and up. No pain associated but since then it's not gone away
That's a relief. I had some cracking in my elbow when doing overhead dumbbell lifts. No pain at all, but I wondered if I should be leaving it alone. Hopefully nothing to be concerned about.
And I thought I was the only one experiencing this
Great Video.. it helped me got back on track.
Glad it helped!
Thanks
Thank you very much
You’re welcome!
Thank you! Confirmation..ain’t nothing wrong with my cracking knees…that’s what I told em…because we got some quads and glutes to grow..and a little noise ain’t bout to stop me!!!!
My right knee has been popping for the last 5 years since i twisted my knee on a turf ⚽️ field during a game. Since then, my knee constantly pops whenever i do certain exercises such as squats, burpees, or deadlifts. It doesnt pop from the beginning, but after a few reps, it will make that audible noise and get sore. Of course it doesnt hinder anything else. I can still run, walk, jump, and sprint with no problems. I’ve been using a lot of balance/stability workouts to try and strengthen it along with yoga. I’ll gladly add these in.
Can you please tell me the kind of excercise or therapy you used to cure your popping knee , I have the same problem as you no pain but a slight uncomfortable feeling
@@johnfaster20 mostly a lot of balance and stability training.
Thank you for this. Subbed 👍🏿
You’re welcome!
Get sturdy!
Thanks a bunch, just subscribed, notification bell on!!!
Glad the video was helpful! Thanks for subscribing!
My mother is showing me this channel through her phone, I'm going to subscribe through my account now.
Pressure change in the joint got it. Been doing warming up, flexibility exercises and starting up single leg squats. So far making my body adjust to change. Will pay attention to pain and snap city but so far so good. More info helpful.
Glad the video was helpful!
Hows it going?
Can someone explain in written what are the reasons for the popping and cracking sounds? Appreciate for the explanation.
This was a great video, gonna give this a try.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you soooo much for such a useful video
My pleasure 😊
My knee ankles pop from time to time, thank u bossman
No problem! Glad the video was helpful!
Came here after watching (and trying) the 'old mane sit-to-stand test.' While I have been fairly flexible growing up, my joints (especially knees) would always crack/pop and make noise! I'm not as active as an adult, so doing the sit-to-stand test really made my joints pop today. There has never been discomfort, but I was curious and found your video. Thank you for the exercises!
I hope the exercises help you!
I used to have these loud knee cracks and it worried me since I used to work as a very active waiter, no pains but I just think of them as they are loosly or worn out prematurely.
It was so loud I embarassed when going to the museum or library, got echoed too. Now I am in fifties and lift weights and forgot about its presence. Thanks for the confirmation.
I am glad the video was helpful. Research has shown on this that many people with knee crepitus are embarrassed by the sound and worry that they will experience problems in the future.
Great exercises. Can you or do you have info on the Left side of body for Sacrum joint or tailbone?
Thanks a lot brother
No problem!
Thank you
You're welcome
My left knee started making a sound when I started dancing again after being sedentary during the quarantine (1.5 years maybe?). My PT said it seemed that my quads became weaker esp. the VMO (dt being sedentary) and then the hard dancing triggered it. I've been strengthening my quads since then and the sound lessened A LOT, it stengthened a whole LOT too coz I couldn't even do single leg (L) wall sits a few months ago, my pelvis would tilt like an idiot 😆 and I would sweat a ton but the cracking is still there when I do deep squats. It's frustrating when I hear the cracking.. I know it depends on each person but how long does it usually take for it to be resolved?
*And I remember the dance move that triggered it 😆 It was something like a fast lateral twisting of the leg, foot in place. And I swear I felt my kneecap kinda getting "out of the rail" haha I swear I felt it (the right one) move to the side momentarily. I stopped right away coz I got so scared 😆. But the right side didn't start crackig maybe because I'm right-side dominant and my home office is in a corner of the room so I was still working it out when I get up from my chair and was not weakened by the sedentary lifestyle. That's when the sound started (almost imperceptible at first, then became louder after a few months)
I am glad to hear the quad exercises are slowly leading to less cracking in the knee joint. Based on what you described in the beginning, it is possible that the kneecap was pushed toward the lateral side of the joint, which is how people dislocate in more severe cases. It’s hard for me to say how long or if the cracking will fully resolve. It’s important to remember that while cracking might be annoying, research has shown that in the absence of pain or trauma it doesn’t signify pathology.
I need this .. thank you , can’t wait to try this and see if it helps me !
I hope they are helpful to you!
Mine went away after a few months of resistance training via squats and it was like Christmas!!! I always thought that there was nothing I could do but I was wrong 💯
That’s great to hear! Resistance training can definitely change these sounds in some cases.
Please explain more how you did the squats to get rid of the popping ? Thanks
@vickhones9961 I just started with body weight squats and slowly started adding resistance starting at 10lbs and working my way up to 100 lbs. I started with 10 sets of 10 and would work my way up to 4 sets of 25 and then increase and after a few months the cracking just went away.
@@eliaspittman Appreciate the response. I will try out !
@@vickhones9961 good luck brother, just be patient with the process and it’ll happen 💯
Thank you so much, for these videos. A question: Can/should I do these exercises if I have a meniscus tear, cracking/pooping knees, and sharp pain in them, especially if I stand for some time. I had an MRI done and that is where I’m at. The strange thing to me is that the pain started in one knee and now is in both. One worse than the other, but has the same symptoms. I have stop exercising, lifting weights, running. I am very concerned about this. Please help! TIA 😊
You’re welcome. Glad the videos are helpful. With knee pain and evidence of a meniscus tear on MRI, I would recommend implementing the exercises in my two meniscus videos. One of the videos is titled ‘start with these exercises’ and they are more for people who have acute pain, so I would try those exercises first and see how you do with them. If they are easy and don’t cause much pain and you have full range of motion with the movements, then I would go onto the part two video.
Those pooping knees are a tough condition🤣
Oh wow super explained. I love the t-Shirt 🥰🌿✌️😎
Thank you!
Thanks man.
No problem!
Awesome video thank you! I just nuked my quads with a new workout routine yesterday and today my knees started popping like crazy; I thought "oh no I broke myself" (no pain). Great to know to my admittedly weak glutes are maybe the issue: new goal focus, more on glutes
The glutes are huge in terms of supporting and protecting the knees. 👍
My knees have ALWAYS popped. At times it can be embarrassing, especially followed after the usual question from people, “are your knees ok?” I would say I’m active lightly other than doing my daily chores as a mom. But as of the past week, I have been trying to go to the gym more. Now, yesterday I did added a few things like weight to my squats and I don’t know why one knee hurt more than the other to the point I feel I can’t squat.. so I appreciate this video, going to give these exercises a try. Hopefully I get relief
As you probably learned in the video, noises are very common and typically are not associated with pathology. I have actually had the same popping noises since I was a kid that you experience and people often worried about my knees as well.
If you recently increased the weight with your squats, you may have irritated the patellofemoral joint a bit. This happens to my left knee quite often if I do more squats or increase the weight. The exercises in this video and a bit of rest from more heavily loaded squats should help clear things up.
I'm 55 and my knees have cracked and popped since childhood so thx for this Explains a lot. ankles do it too..as well as elbows wrists neck, back hips. But that's that's age and injuries
No problem. I'm glad the video was helpful.
Oh thank you 🇿🇦
You’re welcome!
Its crazy, I've always had this since I was young (I'm 35 now). Good to know its not serious at all
Glad the video was reassuring!
Im 16. I just noticed that my knees make these sounds. I was worried about it, but thanks to your video i know that its normal.
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video was helpful!
Thanks.
I need that
Glad the video was helpful!
Excellent🎸🤟🙏
Thanks! 🙏
Keep spreading the good news 😊😊
Will do 👍
mine do it when i stand up. thx for the info's!!
So for me, my knees pop ANY time I stand out of a squat. Like, 3-5 times each extension, and once or twice going into the squat(and I'm Asian, so that is my natural rest position). I used to be a competitive swimmer in high school, and I HATED breaststroke because of this. It's part of the reason I no longer swim, as I was afraid of a more permanent issue. My right knee would always feel tender after popping probably over 40 times a minute. I'm 24 now, and still no pain normally, but it definitely freaks people out when I stand. Does that sound normal? No pain or tenderness standing or squatting, unless I do it a lot consistently.
Yes, this still sounds normal and fits with the research on knee crepitus. Some people experience popping during extension rather than flexion. As long as there isn’t pain and you haven’t had a major knee trauma, this is probably just your normal mechanics.
Yo I get pain now I’m kinda upset because its real. I’ve popped my nees 50+ a day for years played football on 3G turf biked there and back and all on little stretching ie none. But one day they just locked I can run up stairs and stuff but I’m hopping and I was vegan for 5 years now I’m 80% carni try to stay away from oils and grains and shiz but anyway I’m really lost with this one I can’t squat the second I attempt to squat the muscle kinda reaches its lock point and ye I can do one or a few but not good and unbalanced plus it’s not a real squat. Any help would be so much appreciated o haven’t tried ICE properly yet. Any thoughts on that ^ thinking cold baths. I think it may be linked to ankylosis as my back neck fingers ankles all crack something wild to 100s a day :( not painful but I also have no feelings of strength like I’m always kinda off balance or my feet will cramp. Weird first time ever just jotted it all down so excuse the essay but maybe someone else out there who like me who can help. All the best

In such case which one would be more appropriate a static calf strech or a dynamic calf strech? Will really appreciate your opinion on this 🙂
What is the end goal? What is the stretch being used for?
To provide good range of motion which is lost due to high tightness of quads by atheletes , the tightness is pulling the knee cap upwards so to lossen the muscle. Will it be effective and if yes than is calf strech gonna provide good results , if would have to choose should it be dynamic or static?
Sir, will really appreciate your opinion on this
Can your knees still crack and pop even if you are fit and exercise a lot? Or is it something that happens only after long periods of inactivity (like in my case)? I was quite worried about this, sometimes it feels as though my leg/knee will „break”, but there is no pain, so I am hoping these exercises will help :)
Yes, many people who exercise regularly (including myself) experience knee cracking and popping. We have to remember that nearly 97% of knee cracking and popping is not associated with pathology.
Yes. Mine do and have since I was 6. #Facts #ItsOk
Do heavy squats.
Only my left knee cracks but doesn’t hurt
I work out everyday and my knees pop everyday
Thank you for that I recently had a knee injury and I'm going through with everything u said I'm gonna try those exercise because when walking down the stairs it happens but with pain.
Sorry to hear about your injury. I hope the exercises in this video are helpful in terms of your recovery.
Great work thank you!
Last week when i was playing football i landed on the toes of my left leg, as my it was straight, at the moment it felt bad but i was able to continue playing. Right now it have no pain and i even can run and play with it but i have this popping and crack feeling at the top of my knee when i straighten it too much (it seems that everybody have a little of it at the same area when they straighten theirs leg too much but it's a little more that that). So is it normal and should i just do these exercises?
These will be helpful for past injuries where there is occasional pain but mostly no pin and a lot of noise? Basically crepitus on a historically injured knee associated only on occasion with pain. I had a couple of ACL tears, 1 reconstructive surgery and a replacement. Lost a lot of mass on the injured leg that has been difficult to build back up and the other leg has been overcompensating, beginning to lead to some hip and ankle issues now I think. Been trying to build the mass back up, but seems to be very prone to overtraining and seem to have an overactive ITB and very lazy VMO. Doing single leg work I usually hit a roadblock where I have to stop for a week or 2 because of an extremely inflamed ITB.
Mine always pop both when I squat up and down. I was always a little concerned about it, but I haven’t had any issues. I think started to notice it more in my twenties. I’m 37 and haven’t had any issues.
Same here when started lifting nothing wrong. Now since a year they pop but no pain when squatting.
I had a stress fracture in my left tibia 2021. After it healed I noticed super loud crunchy cracking popping in my right knee. So I thought it is caused by an imbalance walking with crutches. I decided to stretch, roll, doing a ton of mobility and doing single leg workouts. Yeah it got better, but ich still cannot squat ass to grass without a loud crunchy sound. I am really worried. I don't want to fuck up my cartilage and I like sports so much. I did imaging but without a certain result. The kneecap has some little signs of damage, grade I. I don't know if this is a result of my age (26) and doing sports for 10years or a real problem. I went to different doctors. The all say that my knee is too narrow and yeah maybe my cartilage is rubbing. I am going crazy cause no exercise is helping too reduce the tightness in my knee. I wonder why my other leg does not have any of those signs.
All my joints, crack a lot, and burn like fire. However, all inflammatory markers in blood tests show negative. And it does cause pain too. Is there something else I can pursue because I’m running out of things to find out what’s wrong
Can you please give tips about Knee Arthritis, Patella dislocated Massage, Rehabilitation or mobility? @therabody
Interesting, especially the last exercise. I periodically do the quad reliant single leg squat I learned in phys therapy a few years ago for a knee injury. The affected leg had been giving me issues and noises, so I'll try the glute mod (I already know glutes need work) and see what that does.
I’ve tried everything started having this problem in 2020 and the sensitivity/ semi pain hasn’t gone away 😢
A lot of biking and walking helped to cure my cracking knees. They used to pop also but not as much anymore.
Yes same. I like to keep cracing my knee alot but Im really absoulutely fine.
Should be apply cold or hot pack if some is new with popping recently after injury
Man I was worried. My knees have been crackling since forever but I am one of the few in my family who can sit on his knees without needing help to get up.
It is great to learn as I have been exactly suffering the same.Left side knee got pain after it was swollen and cannot sit to fold the knees fully.Will try this.
Have same issue... Did you get any relief? Any suggestions?
drinking more water also helps, I had this same issue
How I wish I can do those exercises! I have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and my left knee has subchondral sclerosis and my right knee is starting to bother me now. I have been doing quads setting and just active ROMs.. Lately I try to modify some exercises that I find hard to do. I will try to modify these exercises you taught.. Oh by the way I'm a PT and I want to tell you that I very much appreciate this video... Thank you very much. Very informative and huge help for us. 😊👍👍
Thank you for the comment! Awesome to hear that you are a PT as you will be able to, hopefully, find ways to modify these to fit your current symptoms and abilities.
Thank you so much... ☺️
I think I'm going to the orthopedic again. My left knee and right has been popping back to back since last year doing the summer. The bone doctor referred me to physical therapy, and this helped a little. I'm not sure if it's my weight.
The algorithm did the damn thing again 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Dr 😊
Haha, glad the algorithm did it’s thing and the video was helpful to you!
Thanks! I enjoy your videos and give me so much knowledges ❤
I’m so glad my channel has been helpful to you!
I have had an issue where my right knee will lock up. When it does it is VERY painful, and MUST be unlocked by rotating my lower leg towards my left before I can walk AT ALL This has been occurring for many years, and changes in frequency of occurrence from time to time.. I had an arthroscopy done on that knee years ago and the surgeon said he could not see anything wrong. I started running last fall, and the left knee started doing the same, so I had to quit running. Currently I am weight training. I started to do dead lifts 2 weeks ago, and am getting some increased pain in that knee. The one thing that does make a difference is using a knee brace with a hole for the knee cap--can make a huge difference {during hiking, etc.). So, I will likely start using a brace for each knee or maybe a wrap while doing weights. I am wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone, and if so do you know what this condition might be?
Happens to me every time I bend it. Thank u for this video.
No problem!
Hi, I have cracking, popping, and soreness in my knees. And some days I can barely walk because it feels like a dagger's in my knee. It started in my left knee, then my right, and now it's in my toes. I'm 15 and am relatively fit, I have strong legs but terrible joints. Some days I'm unable to walk, but I haven't been able to run in 2 years. I've tried physical therapy and it didn't help.
Sorry to hear you are having so much pain. Have you had imaging (MRI) done to rule out more serious issues?
Hi. I had an accident which completely severed my patellar tendon , back in 2014. Although the nerves around the knee have been damaged, I have a full range of motion.My knee has started to grind and clunk over the last two months,while walking up and down stairs.could it be scar tissue rubbing against displaced cartilage and can anything be done to elevate the problem. I have returned to the gym and include leg strengthening exercises, like leg raises, hip inductor and leg press.
It is possible that some scar tissue is present and is affecting your kneecap joint mechanics. If the noise isn’t painful, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
My right knee (the one that pops/cracks) is sore after I play sports, but otherwise it's fine. You mention if there's "pain" that I should be concerned. It's just sore. What do you think?
Hi just wondering how often I should do these exercises a week? Great vid thank you! 🙏🏻
I’m glad the video was helpful! I would try to perform these 3-4 times per week.
Thanks! Is it ok to rest my hand on a wall for better balance with the last 2 exercises?
@@goodluck2613 Yes, that is totally fine.
i tore my meniscus and i have been in pain on and off for 2 months. I had a bit of physio and it worked but I>m still in pain, how long will this take to repair.
Start cycling. For the first month or so... My kness killed me after 6 to 12 miles. But after a few months doing between 10-50 miles a week... For some reason my knees wasn't popping or hurting no more; climbing stairs, squats etc wasn't making my knees pop or hurt no more... But as soon as I stopped cycling for 2 months my knees got bad again.
